Well I kinda like the nuke part, but before when it was 60-40, the Dems wouldn't give the Repub's the time of day, now that the score is 59-41, the Repub's can stop the bills, the Dem's now have to play with them and they don't like it....

Too bad....

Well it would be nice for even a foot, we don't have enough to snowmachine out to the cabin. Only have about ten inches or so, and with this summer's forest fires, we need more snow to get over all the deadfall or we are going to wear out the chainsaw...

That's when things start to get really disgusting. You see Pelosi and Reid sucking up to the likes of McConnell and Kyl. The whole charade is enough to make anyone vomit. These people have no shame.

I am more than likely the worst thing ever to happen to any Sheeple as far as following the crowd. Had you read any of my postings, you would understand that.

I tend to vote for the person that is going to do what is right for the country, not just "Right"... or "Left"

And the flaming liberals that want to take my money to give to others, (and then take credit for "giving", when the proper term is "stealing"), and giving to those that are too lazy to work, is not my idea of "Need".

The answer for Government is to cut itself down about 80% starting with the Czars.... then work on down form there.

Hey, that is cool, you are starting to see just how screwed up they are in Congress... That is why I am in favor of voting all of them out and start with a fresh crop of Civil Servants, that is the term they all forgot is what they are suppose to be doing by descriptions, not heir own personal Dynasty.

Perhaps it's your continued use of terms such as "flaming liberals", and your relentless attacks on the "left", without so much as mentioning the "right", which portray you as a partisan right winger.

Oh, I'm not just starting to see this. I've seen too much, really. I've watched in horror as both parties have steered this country to the precipice of a complete and total meltdown. Now, they scramble, lay blame, and do nothing when the difficult decisions are to be made. Sadly, I think we need to see a total disaster before things really change for the better. Apparently, this economic situation is just a warm-up.
